MIME Unit is a sound production cum recording studio based in the east of Singapore. It focuses on the niche market of budget recording for bands and musical artists who need quality sounding recordings without the substantially high budget that it takes to fund for such a project.
It does not pretend to be the best there is, neither does it humble itself by claiming to be the worst. It offers what it offers: using good yet affordable equipment, and a decade of sound experience to produce good quality sound recordings that bands and artists can be proud of, yet at a price that is almost as affordable as going to a few weeks of jamming sessions.
If you and/or your bands are students, in full-time national service, folks who earn enough to feed a family but not feed a passion, or just someone who is looking for a cheaper alternative in general, MIME Unit is for you.

Armen Rizal Rahman interest in music caught fire when he first dabbled with audio editing and sound producing during his studies at Ngee Ann Polytechnic. The idea of being able to manipulate sound was fascinating to him, and soon begins the journey that took him further and deeper into the arts of audio. Armed with a minimally equipped personal desktop computer, and a karaoke microphone, he produced two demos in the space of two years (Orbital Nocturne and A Prologue to Genre), under a pseudo identity, Ubermensch...

At the rates we are offering to you, people might think that our bargain prices is an act of "terrorizing" the local industry music and sound recording rates; that we are trying to "spoil market", as how people would put it.
The above is absolutely untrue. We would be the first to urge you to invest more into your recordings. The current rates of studios and producers may seem expensive to most, but when one is able to churn out the results to match, you will know that you are getting your money's worth. So go for those people first.
In fact, it is complete madness on our part to subject ourselves to working with a rate that's gonna feed us just under five dollars per hour at most times, so it was never about the money to begin with. It is all about making sure that bands have that chance to have their efforts put into tangible form.
Think of it this way: You're a band who has been performing for a few years. You got yourself a decent following, everyone is asking when is your album gonna be out, you have enough material for at least two albums, but you never got about to making one because:
- You are a student, or serving NS, or earning a measly 1-2k a month, which is hardly enough to supplement your daily needs.
- Making an album cost thousands; and
- You are not sure that, after spending so much, people are actually gonna buy them.
Almost all of us believe that in any sort of investment, there are three factors that everyone look out for: cheaper, faster, better. In most times, we all can only afford two of that three.
We are not here to claim that we ARE the solution to that problem. What we offer is just an avenue to aid you to further your band's journey. In fact, we should be seen as the last resort that you seek, when all else fail. If you can afford the expense you put to your high end gears for example, do them justice by having a decent recording done. We don't usually turn away those who want to utilize our services, but we rather not deal with bargain hunters who are looking to skimp with their recording. We are inexpensive, not CHEAP.

The figures below confusing you? Then let's put it this way.
If you can afford:
- A brand new beginner guitar
- A boutique pedal
- A decent practice amp
- Two 2nd hand good condition Boss pedals
- Five 2-hour jamming sessions
- Ten pay-to-play tickets that cost $20 each
Then you can afford to record at least one song with MIME unit.
Remember that with MIME Unit, you are:
- Sharing the price with your fellow band members, as oppose to saving up on your own
- Getting great value from a decently paced recording that multi-tracked, and well mixed as opposed to recording that's done within a day and mixed within an hour.
- Getting great technical and creative service by experienced producers who really wants to help you sound good.
- Able to look at different modes of payment to well suit your needs.
